Just
after six on Thursday night
I had pork chops and applesauce like the other night
Sitting in the living room watching the news
With my parents and my brother just like the usual
A little old lady got raped and killed
and a convict won the lottery
What's the world coming to in this day and age
Some drunk driver ran over his turtle
So he bought a fish
Where's the human race going today
What ever happened to the golden rule
Somebody stole it and melted it down
What ever happened to our imaginations
They all took a turn for the worst
What ever happened to the golden rule
Somebody stole it and melted it down
What ever happened to our imaginations
They all took a turn for the worst
What ever happened to the golden rule
Somebody stole it and melted it down
What ever happened to the golden rule
Somebody's wearing it as a crown
And it will probably never be found
Astrologists say a catastrophic event
Is coming our way in a couple of days
The newscaster said to buy supplies
But no one knows if its really a lie
On one side of the sun
All the planets are aligned
On the other side of the sun
The earth's axis is changed
No one knows if it's possible
But experts say to prepare for the worst
What ever happened to safety in numbers
What ever happened to home sweet home
I always thought that we could do anything
But I guess it's gonna end right here and now
And after all the questions
Haven't been answered
And after all we still don't know
Anger, fear and adrenaline
Are coursing through my bloodstream
It might be a waste of energy
It might be what keeps me alive
My dad says just don't worry
My mom says listen to my dad
We'll probably die in the morning
Right after my alarm goes off
I can't help but wonder
Could this have happened in the past
Life's on a universal timer
Recycling us to the past
What ever happened to safety in numbers
What ever happened to home sweet home
I always thought that we could do anything
But I guess it's gonna end right here and now
And after all the questions
Haven't been answered
And after all we still don't know |
